The team discussed the following data on this week's meeting:
* Robolions Open House
* G.R.I.T.S. (Georgia Robotics Invitational Tournament and Showcase)
* GSMST Challenge
* VEX Robotics Competition Qualifier
1. Robolions Open House
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Robolions Open House and Parent Meeting is being held on October 13 at 7:00 PM. We will discuss plans for the GRITS competition and driving arrangements as well as our own upcoming VEX Qualifier on 11/20. Parents, please RSVP to Mrs. Rutland <mary_rutland@gwinnett.k12.ga.us> if you are able to attend the meeting.
Each team will present their robots during the open house meeting - the chassis must at least be able to move by that time. Please plan accordingly with your teammates so that each robot can demonstrate the its abilities!
2. G.R.I.T.S.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The G.R.I.T.S. event is free to the public and parents. We will be packing our items/trailers on Friday, October 15, for G.R.I.T.S. The Robolions will then meet on the next day, October 16, to participate in the day-long showcase. The team will leave Peachtree Ridge High School at 5:00 AM and caravan to Warner Robins Air Force Base.
We need parents' assistance in car-pooling - any help would be greatly appreciated. We will also need parents' assistance for a part-day group if some team members must return home during the showcase. Please email Mrs. Rutland if you are able to assist in car-pooling.
3. GSMST Challenge
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There will be a VEX Qualifier competition on Saturday, November 6, at Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology (GSMST). The Robolions will be sending two teams to this event and will be bringing members to watch and learn from this competition. A small group will go to GSMST to help them set up on Friday, November 5. If you are interested in participating in this event, please complete your robot and perform a demonstration to Mrs. Rutland by November 2.
Also, GSMST has graciously offered to loan us their two competition fields for our November 20th event - please thank GSMST for their assistance.
4. VEX Robotics Competition Qualifier
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The VEX Robotics Competition Qualifier is nearing! The Robolions will host and participate in the all-day tournament on November 20 at Peachtree Ridge High School. Seeing as there are only nine weeks left until the qualifier, the team suggests each team to create a timeline to complete the robot by the due date. Teams also have the option to work on the robots on Thursday afternoons - please make the best use of your time! If you are unsure of anything, please contact your team's mentor.

Thank you for reading this week's Syndication. Have a safe and an enjoyable week!
Sincerely,
